Not feeling "fatigue"? Increase weight?

Howdy Gang,

I’m a beginner to the hanging scene—been doing it for almost a month now. I frequently read the forum, and I try to follow the advice/recommended beginner routines posted by vets. For example, before starting to hang, I did the jelqing for a while, and once I started hanging (standing, straight down), I took er easy at 3-4 lbs for just a few 20 minute sets (with 10 minute breaks) per week. I also do the warm up/warm down, and I have also tried the warm up/cool down—not sure if one approach is better than the other.

I have been using the “dog muzzle & cable clamps” hanger system because I see myself as still in the experimental stages so I don’t see the immediate need (and I can’t really afford) to pop on a Bib or LG system at this time. As far as I can tell, it does what it’s supposed to. I have experimented with different wraps and found that a elastic-y Ace bandage with Velcro works best for me.

Weight-wise, I started at around 3-4 lbs, and worked up from there. Today I did my first set with 8 1/2 lbs. Eight and a half is slightly more than the 1lb/week recommended increase, but here lately I’ve been tossing on a tad more weight because I’m not sure I’m feeling the “fatigue” y’all talk about. I mean, the skin on the top of my wiener is a bit tender right after a session, but that goes away after like 5 min, so I’m assuming that’s not fatigue.

Will somebody please explain what fatigue feels like?

I’ve read a few posts where people say to increase weight until the pecker feels fatigued, but I don’t want to do rush things because I know that can lead to injury. I’ve also seen guys saying it should be longer for a few minutes immediately following a session, and if it doesn’t, then increase the weight. Mine is no longer post-session. In fact it pretty much turtles back to it’s normal non-aroused “grower” state immediately after unwrapping. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong or I just have an uncooperative wiener.

Should I start breaking the 1lb/week rule and increase weight until I start seeing signs of fatigue (whatever that is) and/or other signs that I’m getting a good “workout,” e.g., a longer dong for a little while, post-session?

Thanks!

I’m not sure why my post is not showing. I’m a first-time poster, so I’m sure I screwed something up. I apologize. Here’s my post again:

One key to getting a good stretch us varying your hanging position. I’d work on that before dropping more weight. That was my big screwup while hanging. I dropped more weight for the same reason you did. Ended up around 12 pounds, no gains or fatigue. That was around week 5.

So I’d suggest swapping hanging positions not duration and weights.

Thank you, Sir. I’ll definitely try that!

So what’s it feel like after you get that good stretch, I.e., fatigue? Is it an internal feeling, and does it last for a while?

Warm, tingling maybe, like when you pull a muscle but not as intense. That’s my experience.
